International News Barbados Launches Anti-AIDS Campaign Targeted at WomenOctober 3, 2003 Barbados has launched a mass media campaign aimed at reducing HIV/AIDS prevalence among women. The campaign began Tuesday with ads appearing on television, radio, and newspapers in Barbados. Targeting women between the ages of 20 and 70, the ads use reggae-style jingles, comics, and soap operas. "Due to their economic, social, and emotional dependence on men, it is difficult for women to refuse unsafe sex or negotiate safer sex," said Marilyn Sealy with the Nation HIV/AIDS Commission.
